Today is the commemoration of the ending of slavery in the U.S. and was designated as a federal holiday in 2021. Many states had already recognized this day of commemoration. Today is also referred to as Jubilee Day, Emancipation Day, and Black Independence Day. The U.S. Postal Service, many banks, and other businesses are closed today in observance of Juneteenth.
